Review on DJI Pocket 2 Gimbal Camera by Anand Lal ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

For shooting in the rain, buy an underwater box, I did it, it's very cool. Any regular class 10 U3 memory card will do (No need to fork out for a V30 even for 4k60). With active use, you will have to buy the necessary fasteners - there is a large selection of them. I don’t really use microphones here, I have no complaints about the sound, it’s better here than on other action cameras, and in my opinion it’s no worse than from an iPhone. The battery pulls at least an hour 4k60, which is very good, but I would not refuse a replacement, although there has not yet been a real need. I barely used their application only after the purchase, later I stopped connecting an iPhone for shooting, because there was no need. Autofocus has been greatly improved by now (December 2022) to almost perfect, before AFC was terrible. But I still do not really understand the need for autofocus here at all. After continuous shooting 4k60, the device warms up decently from above, you can get burned, but it continues to shoot without problems.

Pros
  • Amazingly small and light. Stabilization is normal, at least not worse than Osmo Mobile. Very good video quality. Excellent case, very comfortable, thought out to the smallest detail - there are holes for all protruding parts and for the charging cable. Convenient control and good iOS application. Regular ates have greatly improved the device over the past year and even added features. Normally stands on the table by itself. The presence in the sale of a large number of all sorts of accessories and mounts anywhere. There is autofocus, that is, you can shoot close objects with background blur. You can shoot both horizontally and vertically. You can attach photo filters! interestingly, the mounts for them are magnetic. Photo filters are tiny, you can hide the device in a case without even removing them.
Cons
  • The absence of any moisture protection is a little annoying - all connectors are completely open to dust and water. There are no complaints about moving parts in this regard - there is probably no possibility to protect them in principle. There are no built-in tripod mounts, at first it is a little annoying, but then you realize that it would be extra centimeters in size, and compactness is the most important thing here.

Its pros: compactness Working hours Shooting quality Cons: until I found flaws - the only thing is that the control is not quite intuitive and I would like the ability to take photos while shooting a video
